Description

Progressive Health's Lomentum is an advanced formula designed to relieve Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) symptoms, decrease digestive problems and promote GI (gastrointestinal) health. This unique formulation includes probiotics, chamomile, glutamine, enterically coated peppermint oil, enterically coated caraway oil and gamma-oryzanol (rice bran oil). Lomentum's comprehensive nutritional support helps relieve symptoms of IBS employing enteric coated softgels for maximum ingredient delivery.

IBS affects about 10 to 20% of the population. In IBS, the colon is affected by motor dysfunction and hypersensitivity. IBS is characterized by abdominal pain, changes in bowel habits and abnormal contractions of intestinal muscles. Research suggests that patients with IBS suffer from nutrient deficiencies due to avoidance of foods that aggravate the condition.

Probiotics such as acidophilus and bacillus are beneficial bacteria found in the intestinal flora. The addition of probiotics helps keep the intestinal tract functioning at peak efficiency and improves IBS symptoms. The amino acid l-glutamine can help reduce inflammation and protect the GI tract.

Chamomile, enterically coated peppermint oil and enterically coated caraway oil act as anti-spasmodic agents in the digestive tract. A double blind study suggests that a combination of these three botanicals significantly improved IBS symptoms. Gamma-oryzanol, extracted from rice bran oil, can prevent emotionally-induced propulsive activity in the GI tract.

Pros

Lomentum is offered in enteric coated softgels formulated to act as a protective barrier to ingredients. The enteric coating controls the release of nutrients within the digestive tract for maximum absorption.
